Froggy 0 #3 January 9, 2007 QuoteI've never seen anyone wearing an altitrack, is there a bias? I saw one person on our DZ jumping it last season -- this was my first and only time seeing the device so far. He said he loves it.-------------- We were not born to fly. And all we can do is to try not to fall... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 30 #4 January 9, 2007 QuoteAnybody know of anything new coming out soon? new containers or canopies ?? My recommendation is, as long as you are not a fairly proficient skydiver, dont the the 1st one with the new toys. Let others Beta test them.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been happy with it so far. It has been giving funky low speeds for the past four jumps though (80 on the unit) so I will have to report back when I get that figured out."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HALO1 0 #10 January 10, 2007 Likewise at my home DZ. There are a few, myself included, that jump with an Altitrack. None use the JumpTrack software. We've done some comparisons after dives (including the standard ProTrack users) and the data is amazingly consistent between us all. Doug, funny you mention the strange reading... I did a 3K hop-n-pop this past weekend and the Altitrack recorded the jump as 13K+? However, during exit, face read 3K. First "anomaly" in 125+ jumps. Don't be sexist… Broads hate that.

DougH 270 #11 January 10, 2007 It isn't a big deal, and it may be something that is a result of the type of flying I am doing. It occurred on a noodle jump where I was doing all types of crazy transitions and body flight to avoid be whacked. The next three jumps with the issue were head down exits and sit flying with some funny corking. I may be the problem, but I have to wait till next time I jump to be sure. I just wish I could hit the 65mph it is recording me at sans wingsuit.

Beer 0 #12 January 10, 2007 Dougie, when did you start sit flying? I don't know if you got the email, but i'm trying to get some tunnel time this Friday. Might be transitioning to sitflying. Might have to push it off a week or two. Learn to be happy. You can't be there for anybody else in life if you can't learn to be there for yourself.

DougH 270 #13 January 10, 2007 I don't think I ever really started. I don't think I have attempted it on more than five jumps, but the last few I have been able to hold it stable for some time!!!! I think I am going to save the freeflying for the sky, and use my tunnel time to really nail down my bellflying. But I haven't decided yet."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mixedice 0 #18 January 11, 2007 Hey Jar head! I jump with a Neptune which has been flawless for the past year. I love the logbook, intuitive buttons and the large display. The fact that it is waterproof hasn't been an issue for me yet, but when I start swooping this Spring I won't have to worry. Alti-2 will be coming out with something new at the PIA this year so I can hardly wait to see what they have done with an already great skydiving tool. By the way, the firmware is totally upgradeable so don't worry about being left behind when they upgrade, they will fix yours for "free".
